First we have tonight's dinner citrus steak with cajun shrimp and garlic mashed potatoes.


I marinated the steak in a McCormick Baja Citrus with a half a thing of garlic peppercorn, vinegar, and oil.
Then cooked it on the grill. The shrimp (pre-cooked salad shrimp) was 'fried' in a mixture of Tony's original and blackening, with lemon juice and extra olive oil.


This I like to call the love patty. Because you know your wife loves you when she makes you something like this. Either that or she is trying to kill me.


This is very similar to my 'Destroyer" with the addition of sauteed peppers and onions. Fantastic!


Now for the breakfast variety. Anyone who knows me would say I enjoy a good breakfast. This is something that I can't believe took my 26 years to do. And it all started with a strong desire not to do anymore dishes. We had one clean pot and a fork.


I took two strips of thick cut peppered bacon, folding them in half and placed them in our 1 qt pot. The great thing about this is the bacon cooks by being deep fried in its own grease.
When the bacon is done (you will want the bacon crispy, not chewy)

DO NOT drain the grease! Remember we are trying to limit the number of dirty dishes. So when the bacon is good and crispy, drop two eggs into the grease (on top of the bacon).
Now comes the tricky part, flipping. Flip in any way that works best for you. Its okay if things fall apart, just make sure your eggs don't get scrambled.

While the egg is cooking, take a flour tortilla and moisten one side with a little water and nuke for 10 seconds. The water will keep the tortilla most and soft so it won't tear.

When the eggs are done, place your choice of cheese (I highly recommend a 50/50 mixture of cheddar and pepper jack) onto the center of the tortilla and place the bacon/egg combination on top of the cheese.

DO NOT drain the grease! just place the pot back on the burner.

Now fold the tortilla around the eggs. and place folded end down, back into your pan. It is important to fry the folded end first so it doesn't unravel.

Let sit for a minute of two and flip. Fry for a few more minutes and then enjoy.



Well I hope that this makes up a little for all the slacking I have done. Bon Appetite!
